Hello world!
2
Today we are exploring the lovely old town of Hoi An, learning lots of English using the world around us.
3
And we'll also be talking about the differences between North American English, which I speak, and British English, which Jay speaks.
4
So start the word count and let's go!
5
By the way guys, I'm walking on the pavement.
6
That's the road, this is the pavement.
7
And this is Volker.
8
Hey guys, my name is Volker.
9
You may or may not recognize me from Volker English, but I just make comprehensible input videos on YouTube for people learning English.
10
You do.
11
Wonderful videos as well.
12
actually inspired me to start making this type of content.
13
I remember seeing your video about one year ago
14
and I wanted to do the same and here we are one year later.
15
We're a year later, yeah.
16
Let's go get some food, some drinks.
17
Yeah, I'm pretty hungry.
18
I haven't really eaten anything all day and the sun has been beating on me.
19
I could use a cold drink.
20
Awesome, let's go man.
21
Let's go.
22
So, so Jay, what are we walking down right now?
23
Okay, so this is an alley.
24
We're about to walk down an alley or an alleyway, which is like a small, narrow street.
25
And can you describe what these are?
26
Maybe a scarf that you put across your body, like some sort of dress.
27
Yeah, nice.
28
I'm not sure.
29
How would you describe it?
30
This probably is like a silk garment, I might say.
31
These are like mannequins with their heads chopped off.
32
Yeah, there's just a knob.
33
It looks like I could put my toilet paper there, honestly.
34
But yeah, I really do like the aesthetic of Hoi An.
35
If you look around, everything is a little bit old, eroded a little bit, the bricks are showing.
36
But it still has that beautiful yellow, but that's slightly faded.
37
Absolutely.
38
It's got charm to it.
39
Bring your partner here.
40
Just me and you having a date.
41
Exactly.
42
This is what YouTube brings, guys.
43
Sweet to Hoi An.
44
Literally.
45
This way, I think.
46
So guys, we're going to get some Mott now, which is like a sweet tea.
47
Yeah, I've never had it before, so I'm excited to try it.
48
And now that we're in line, let's do a quick outfit check and you can rate our outfits, but can you tell me what do you call this?
49
Okay, so these are trousers.
50
Trousers.
51
Yeah, what would you say?
52
Trousers is a word I don't think I've ever used in my vocabulary.
53
We call those pants.
54
We call those pants.
55
Funny thing is, we call what's underneath these pants.
56
Really? Or boxers.
57
Really?
58
Yeah.
59
That is something I actually didn't know because we just call them boxers.
60
What would you call these?
61
We would call those sneakers.
62
Sneakers.
63
What would you call them?
64
We don't say sneakers.
65
We say trainers.
66
Trainers.
67
Trainers.
68
In English, we would say, or British English, we'd call this a jumper.
69
Which is like a long sleeve.
70
Yeah.
71
And we would call this in North American English a sweater.
72
All right guys, we just got these...
73
It is in a cardboard cup, a bamboo straw, there is a leaf for decoration,
74
and also this is a petal, which is a part of a flower.
75
And now a taste test.
76
I wish you could taste this.
77
So now I've quenched my thirst.
78
To quench your thirst means to go from thirsty to not thirsty by drinking.
79
I've just quenched my thirst.
80
But I'm still hungry.
81
So, I'm gonna go buy a little snack.
82
A little sweet treat.
83
the road here these are pedicabs in Vietnam they call them sicklo but we would say pedicab.
84
I show your videos to my English classes all the time and your videos are great.
85
Thank you so much.
86
What's your name?
87
Eva.
88
Nice to meet you.
89
Nice to meet you.
90
Thank you for what you do.
91
Come on thank you.
92
Just met the lovely Eva
93
if you're watching this Eva in the future thanks for coming to say hi
94
and if anyone else ever sees me in the street please come say hi I don't Right.
95
Speaking of biting, we've got these little mango cakes here.
96
They're kind of like mochi, like Japanese mochi.
97
Taste test.
98
Very floury.
99
It's like I just dunked my face in flour.
100
It's good.
101
Want a bite?
102
Inside is peanuts and sugar.
103
And then you have this kind of jelly-like outside with lots of flour, it seems.
104
Inside is sweet, outside is quite neutral.
105
It doesn't taste as much.
106
But the texture is very chewy, very squidgy, almost like clay or Play-Doh.
107
Are there like different accents within the UK?
108
Yes, it's quite varied actually.
109
Yeah, we have a Scouse accent.
110
It's not very good though.
111
It's a Scouse is a bit in the back of the throat.
112
Yeah.
113
A bit like that.
114
Sorry to anyone, my Liverpool friend watching this.
115
Honestly, that sounds good.
116
You convinced me.
117
It really reminded me of that movie with that red hair archer.
118
Oh, yeah.
119
Brave?
120
Yes, it is Brave.
121
Yeah, yeah.
122
That was like a Scottish.
123
Yeah, OK.
124
All right, pal.
125
I used to live in Edinburgh in Scotland.
126
I can do a bit of a Scottish accent.
127
OK, that's really good.
128
That's quite thick Scottish.
129
This is, in British English, a shop.
130
And we call this, in North American English, a store.
131
A store.
132
So we're gonna go into the store and buy a water.
133
Did you want a water?
134
Take it one o'clock.
135
Thank you.
136
Thirsty work.
137
This is thirsty work, guys.
138
By the way, shout out to the two lovely people behind us, Leon and Chang.
139
Behind the scenes that you guys never see.
140
So in this little fridge, we have chocolate bars. And up here, cigarettes.
141
This is a fridge with two handles.
142
You open the fridge, close the fridge.
143
These are crisps.
144
And in American English, they call these chips.
145
We say crisps.
146
Chips in English is fries in American English.
147
They say fries, we say chips.
148
They say chips, we say crisps.
149
Got it?
150
Good.
151
Kinda confusing.
152
If you have ever been to Hoi An, then you will know how beautiful this place is.
153
At night, the lanterns turn on.
154
Outside the shop front here, you have two red lanterns.
155
Now the light is fading, and when the light's fading, the sky turns blue.
156
We call this twilight or dusk.
157
A time just after the sun sets.
158
And it's very beautiful.
159
Isn't it Chang?
160
Above Chang's head we have pink flowers.
161
That is the bougainvillea.
162
Here we have the gold mannequins in the shop.
163
These are mannequins.
164
And this mannequin is wearing a suit.
165
This mannequin is wearing a suit.
166
If a man is dressed up nicely in a suit, we could say, he's suited and booted.
167
This shop is selling lots of little things, small little items which we call knick-knacks.
168
These are knick-knacks.
169
Lots of miscellaneous items, so random little souvenirs and things like that.
170
We say knick-knacks.
171
So now guys we are at the riverfront.
172
The riverfront, that means right next to the river.
173
And if I flip you around, we have the lantern boats.
174
You can see the light down here reflecting off the surface of the water.
175
So this is a night market guys, a night market.
176
The overall area is called a night market and these are stalls.
177
When someone has a small shop, it's temporary, we call it a stall.
178
So this stall is selling various things and the lights are very bright.
179
They are dazzling, bright.
180
Up here we have a very pretty street lamp.
181
A street lamp.
182
And some lanterns attached to a string or a cable.
183
The sun has set and right now this cloud in the distance looks ominous.
184
When I When I say a cloud looks ominous, it means it looks threatening.
185
It looks dark, it looks like it is going to rain, it looks like there's gonna be thunder and lightning.
186
It's common in British English to say that weather or that cloud looks ominous.
187
It's a good word.
188
Chang, what are you holding there?
189
An electrical fan.
190
An electrical fan.
191
A small electric fan.
192
because it is hot and sweaty.
193
Look at my hair flopping in the wind.
194
It's like spaghetti.
195
There you go.
196
By the way guys, if you don't already, then go here.
197
Our lovely Volker, a follow.
198
These guys work really hard, they make wonderful videos.
199
There's the beautiful cameraman Leon and the beautiful man behind the camera, Volker.
200
If you follow me and you don't follow him, then something's wrong.
201
So go follow him.
202
Thank you.
203
Love you guys.
204
So these are bracelets and this is a pack of cards.
205
Here we have lots of different cards with beautiful decorations on.
206
And these are coasters.
207
Coaster.
208
That's a small store.
209
Hello!
210
Can I stop by the corner?
211
No thank you.
212
If I stop for too long then they grab me
213
and they want me to buy something so I have to keep moving.
214
That's a little dog.
215
Hey pooch.
216
Rule 101 when coming to Vietnam.
217
Don't pet the dogs unless they come over to you.
218
I learned that the hard way.
219
Alright guys, now let's get some food.
220
Zhang is sitting down on the table.
221
Scooch up.
222
Thank you.
223
I just said scooch up.
224
That means can you move up please in a very informal way.
225
We just finished eating, guys, and personally, I'm stuffed.
226
What about you?
227
I am stuffed as well.
228
When we're very full, we say we're stuffed.
229
There are three final words that we want to leave you with. So, Volker.
230
I'll say the North American version of the word, and then Jay will say the British version.
231
So, I currently live in an apartment in Da Nang.
232
I don't live in a flat.
233
I live in a house.
234
But the opposite to apartment is flat in the UK. So apartment.
235
Flat.
236
But flat also means.
237
Level.
238
Flat.
239
The ground is flat.
240
The next word is guys.
241
Hey, you guys want to go get something to eat?
242
Like dessert?
243
And I would say in the UK to my friends, lads.
244
Alright lads.
245
Now then lads.
246
Hey up lads.
247
Just as like a group of male friends.
248
That is something I might adopt into my vocabulary, lads.
249
I think that is a pretty cool British word, lads.
250
Lads.
251
But I'll add the accent with it.
252
Yeah, lads.
253
Lads.
254
Nice, good.
255
I fill my prescription at the pharmacy.
256
I fill my prescription at the chemist in the UK.
257
So in North American English, we say pharmacy.
258
And we say chemist.
259
That is very cool and I would love to use that, but I feel like all my friends would look at me
260
like they think I'm going to like a trap house or something.
261
Like what is this guy doing?
262
He's, we would say chatting shit.
263
Do you have that phrase?
264
No, what is that?
265
To chat shit is to talk rubbish.
266
Oh, talk trash.
267
Yeah, talk trash kind of thing.
268
To chat shit.
269
Just chat shit.
270
I didn't know that word until today.
271
All right, nice.
272
So I also learned some British words today.
273
We're all learning learning.
274
So that's all for today's video.
275
I hope you guys enjoyed everything.
276
Make sure to let us know in the comments what was your favorite part of the video
277
and we can do another collab.
278
Let us know what you would like us to do in our next collab.
279
And remember guys, you will become fluent in English.
280
Bye guys.

О данном уроке

В этом уроке вы потренируете понимание английского языка на естественной скорости, слушая диалог двух носителей — американца и британца. Вы узнаете о различиях в их речи, познакомитесь с повседневными фразами и попрактикуетесь в воспроизведении интонации и ритма. Упражнения основаны на реальной ситуации: прогулке по старому городу Хои-Ан, обсуждении местных красот и закусках. Это отличная возможность улучшить навыки аудирования и говорения с помощью shadowing (тенировки).

Основной словарный запас и фразы

  • Pavement — тротуар (в британском английском; в американском — sidewalk).
  • Alley (alleyway) — переулок, тесная улочка.
  • Silk garment — шелковая одежда (например, сарафан или платье).
  • Charm — очарование, прелесть (в контексте: "This town has charm" — "Этот город имеет очарование").
  • Sweet tea — сладкий чай (в видео упоминается mott — местная разновидность).
  • Trousers — брюки (в британском английском; в американском — pants).

Советы для практики

Чтобы эффективно использовать shadowing с этим видео, следуйте этим шагам:
1. Сначала прослушайте фрагмент диалога полностью, чтобы понять общий смысл.
2. Затем повторите каждый репликат сразу после носителя, копируя его интонацию, скорость и ударения. Не стесняйтесь говорить громко — это поможет развить мускулатуру голоса.
3. Остановитесь на местах, где вы не поняли слова, и повторите их несколько раз. Обратите внимание на разницу в произношении pavement (британский) и sidewalk (американский).
4. Используйте паузу и перемотку, чтобы адаптировать тренировку к вашему уровню. Регулярная практика (по 10–15 минут в день) поможет вам привыкнуть к естественной речи и улучшить ваше произношение.
Этот подход, известный как shadow speak или shadow speech, идеально подходит для отработки речи на скорости носителя. Начните прямо сейчас — и вы скоро заметите прогресс!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
